The decade of the 1970’s has already elicited a plethora of forecasts regarding the young, the old, the environment, the space program, the economy. Allow me then to project some thoughts about the Class of '70. — Most of you will find fulfillment in doing your work the best you can, and in marrying and raising families. — You will contribute towards preserving the greatness of America, defying the crepe- hangers. — You will find ways to help reduce injustice and poverty wherever it exists. — You will remind others by your example that good craftsmanship lends greater dignity to all human efforts, with more benefits to so- ciety. Your teachers have worked hard to help you learn. Their reward will be in seeing the spirit of learning and doing along with good citizen- ship and moral progress, increasingly evident in your lives. That is craftsmanship of the highest order. JOHN L. ROSSI Director To The Class of 1970: Goodbye. Your days at Kaynor will long be remembered. I hope that the world you entered on June 17 will be as concerned, protective, patient, and proud of your efforts as were your instructors at Kaynor Tech. JOHN J. MILLS Assistant Director 4

JOSEPH F. MURPHY RICHARD W. HOWES As the class of 1970 faces its farewell to the high school where it has received special education and training for the World of Work, you will detect a feeling that your specialized knowledge is greatly needed in our Connecticut industry and business. The Connecticut Yankee is generally thought of as an outstanding mechanic and person. It is hoped that each class member will continue to do his part to maintain this reputation. Sincerely yours, Richard W. Howes, Assistant Director Division of Vocational Education TO THE CLASS OF '70 Congratulations to the members of the graduating class of 1970 for successfully completing an arduous program of education. You have had an excellent opportunity to prepare yourself to meet the future for serv- ices to your community and services to the State. I know that you will enter your life ahead well prepared and I am assured of your continued growth and success. Sincerely yours, Joseph F. Murphy, Director Division of Vocational Education 3

Responsibility and participation arc as much a part of adulthood as books, teachers and study arc of adolescence. At the same time that you are congratu- lated for the knowledge and skills acquired while at Kaynor, you should feel challeneged by the responsibilities of adulthood. Your value to man will be measured not by what you know but rather how efficiently you aid a world seeking peace and understanding. Adulthood demands continued growth, humility, and a willingness to use your re- sources to help make our world a better home for tomorrow’s youth. I thank the Class of 70 for the experi- ences you have shared with me and wish you success and happiness in the future. DANIF.L J. KEEFE Guidance Counselor TO THE CLASS OF 1970: I do not have fear of our youth. They will come through. You have been taught in our classrooms— how to think—not what to think. You have developed for yourselves a sense of values, having gained a balance between idealism and realism. You have been motivated by high moral codes and honesty of purpose. In short, you young men and women of the graduating class have the resourcefulness that will help you to face and cope with whatever emergency arises. Congratulations! BORIS V. DUKELEY Director, Evening Division 5
